The Gaggia coffee machine allows using all types of coffee beans available on the market (except

caramelized ones).

However, coffee is a natural product and its features may change according to its origin and blend.

With some coffee blends it could happen that, after choosing the coffee, it is not brewed and the machine

returns to the initial status.

In such cases, reduce the quantity of coffee to be ground (e.g.: from “strong” to “medium”), using this

function.

MILK ISLAND (OPTIONAL)

This device, which may be purchased separately, enables you to easily and comfortably prepare delicious

cappuccinos.

Warning: before using the Milk Island, read the manual and all precautions carefully for

correct use.

Important note: the quantity of milk in the carafe must never be below the “MIN” minimum

level nor exceed the “MAX” maximum level. Thoroughly clean all the Milk Island components

after use.

To guarantee best results when preparing cappuccino, we recommend using cold

(0-8°C / 32-45°F), partially skimmed milk.

Fill the milk carafe with the quantity of

milk desired (between the MIN and

MAX levels indicated).

Place the milk carafe onto the base

of the Milk Island. Check that the

light on the base is green.

Remove the carafe using the

handle.

Gently swirl the carafe and pour

the milk into the cup.

Position the cup with frothed

milk under the dispensing head.

Dispense coffee into the cup.

Turn the knob to the

position.

Wait for the milk to be frothed.

When the desired milk froth has

been reached, turn the knob until

it is in the rest position ( ).

The machine will stop
